Wouldn't a slip n slide be a bit more prudent for the backyard birthday party? especially since mother is on her 4th Daiquiri.

Subject: Mom knows best
For any snowflakes that are wetting their panties at this, you need special knives for knife throwing, with dulled edges and a point just sharp enough
...
to grab the wood. Yes, it's still dangerous, just not AS dangerous. The knives are also balanced so they always land correctly. As long as the thrower maintains the same distance and uses the proper throwing technique (blade first vs. handle first) they will always land the same way.
This woman seems moderately skilled, she is far off the mark on some throws, fortunately the right way.
Kudos to those little girls, they have more balls than the average Democrat today.

Subject: Another title that made my night...
Like some other reviewers allude to, at first it seems all scary and dangerous but when I was kid only special needs people wore helmets and they got picked
...
on and either learned to fight or make love like charlie sheen. We rode our bikes against traffic alone at night... OMG, I cannot believe I am still alive. Today we subject ourselves to sedentary occupations, reducing our life span and filling our minds with useless drivel.
Strange how the pharma companies, lawyers, and doctors have added a hundred new diagnosis's, a thousand new medications and a million more laws to keep us distracted as we move from a liberty based society to an equality (regardless of effort or ability) based society.
I wish that my worst memory was my mom throwing knives at me. I still have the bullet my ex step dad shot at me.... what a douche bag... Anyway, cool little snippet of an odd slice of evil, fat, racist white americana before there were apps and mybooktube. Thanks for adding it and thanks for letting me share. Now give me a keychain.

The mom looks like she's only 4 to 5 feet away from the kids. Pretty hard to miss from such a close distance.

Thankfully, we don't have this type of dangerous behavior nowadays....today we just have a mother with a mini-van full of kids rocketing down the expressway

while texting her best friend forever.

Mom brings her kids to work and uses them as human targets! Luckily she misses. Newsreel reporter doesnt express any irony in this story at all, which
...
makes this equally troubling. Whats even more eerie is the cute poses the kid has when Mom is throwing knives at her head. Yikes!

Can you spell Âchild endangermentÂ? I thought you could. In this newsreel featurette, a mom whoÂs a circus performer throws knives at her two daughters,
...
ages 5 and 21/2. Now I know sheÂs a skilled performer and the point is that she misses, but donÂt scare me like that!

A wonderfully irresponsible knife-thrower, hurling cleavers (for a shortish distance) at her two very young daughters for a crowd of children. Charges
...
of child endangerment would ensue if this ever happened these days; a cool little look into the into what was considered harmless entertainment way back when.
